Aptiva, I read your post exactly as you meant it. I've been toying with buying those as well, but $200 bucks for that "design" doesn't really get me excited. Are you going to install them anyway, or return them? In any case, would it be possible for you to take some pics before you mount them or otherwise?

My view on them is that they are a bit thick looking. I guess I had it in my mind that a diffuser should have smaller splines (thinner/not shorter) to give it the look I'd prefer. But then again, that setup may not be strong enough for the rigors of daily driving and have a higher potential to be broken. Carbon fiber thin splines would be best, but since this is really for looks principally (exclusively)? I don't think I'd care to pay the price for carbon fiber bobbles for my car.
